In-situ monitoring of rock slope destabilization with ambient seismic noise interferometry in southwest China

The damage evolving on rock slopes, including unstable mass failure events, is expected to be associated with a rigidity loss of geomaterials. Therefore, velocity changes (dv/v) inferred from ambient noise interferometry allow remotely assessing the …

Statistical evidence of a seismic quiescence before the M$_w$8.1 Iquique earthquake, Chile

The 2014 Iquique seismic crisis in Chile, culminating with a $M_w$ 8.1 earthquake on 1 April, highlights a complex unlocking of the Northern Chilean subduction that has been considered a seismic gap since 1877. During the year preceding this event, …
